The Inhabitants of this river have applied for a priest. Asks de B. to send hither two discreet priests, who shall conform to the laws. Letter sent by Capt. Bissell, a British subject and an honest man. Gautier follows with duplicate. Hopes the priests written for may return with him. De Goudalie has been ordered to quit the province. He has behaved basely; "hath in his letters Given himself the lye," and not behaved as a man of honor.
